Sold for $437... You Cherry collectors never cease to amaze me.

Grats photekq. That's actually less than I expected.

Same here, nice one photekq!

Everyone is saving for their new Kishsaver, I bet.

Oh oh I think too. Congratls photekq.

Glad I managed to get it. I was actually out unexpectedly when it ended, so it's a good job I set my snipe software last night!

I got it for less than I expected it to go for.. I actually offered the seller more than this in private, so it's a good job he didn't take it!

photekq what bank did you robbed this time? @@

Could someone please elucidate for me what is so special about this keyboard?

A few pieces of white plastic stuck on the tops of the switches as far as I can tell xD .

I have no idea...It's all Greek to me...

Hehe

Truth is, some people do have way too much money to spend on this hobby ...

Well, I earned it, and I have nothing else to spend it on..

I don't think it's too much to spend for such a rare* and beautiful keyboard.. I was actually prepared to pay nearly twice the ending price.

*While I know of one Chinese collector who has at least one Greek ANSI dyesub set, this is absolutely the only Schneider one I've seen with those irregular mod legends.

photekq is just getting ready to bid on Blue Alps, that's all.

The keycaps don't even look especially great to me. Not to mention they're MX mount. Yuck!

I didn't say it like it was a bad thing
While money can help with getting the rarest birds, they also can make the hobby more ... "chronic", so to speak.

But tanks can be decommissioned and stripped of their precious munitions!

Grats, dude! The second you mentioned your max bid to me admist our keyboard chit chat, I knew you were going to be the one to run away with this one!

Do you plan on just collecting this one, or slapping the caps on something else?

The worst part? We had the same conversation, photekq and I, and I was half expecting someone else to outbid him!

Sort of expensive for Futabas, but the MX compatible doubleshot keycaps are fun. I think some of the legends are purple!

Oh yeah! I hadn't looked at the switch enclosure closely, only the stem.

No.

I know some of you will roll your eyes - but the Thailand made Dell Quietkey is a very good rubberdome.

This is the first time I've seen a NOS all black Thailand origin QK on Ebay:
